totter 2 #51 January 8, 2014 Quote Have any idea where I can find out if the PAC 750XL inflight door was approved with or without a parachute use requirement? The aircraft was certified with the door already installed from the factory so you would find any such requirement in the POH. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBCOOPER 1 #52 January 22, 2014 If you read the first page of AC105-2E 3.a(4) you will see: (4) Part 119, Certification. Air Carriers and Commercial Operators (§ 119.1(e)(6)). Pilots who conduct parachute operations within a 25 statute mile (sm) radius of the airport of departure may conduct them as commercial operations under part 91. http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_105-2E.pdfReplying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

MikeStafford 0 #53 January 30, 2014 Just put a skydiving rig on the observer. Then they are engaging in sport parachuting . If the FAA is there tell them the "skydiver" chickened out and came down with the plane. ________________________________________________ To every sufficiently complex problem there is a solution that is simple, obvious, and wrong.

Never mind, "nuisances" works perfectly well too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baronn 111 #57 February 1, 2014 I know if an instance where an observer used the ride to altitude to commit suicide. Signed a waiver but, that still didn't prevent the FAA from immediately yanking a very experienced pilots license and grounding the bird. Huge nightmare to get back in the air and legal issues from smashing into a house on the ground. Waaaaaaay too much risk for me and that won't EVER happen at my place. You either have a rig on and know how to use or sit on the ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
